JEWISH MOBILITY IN ENGLAND.

Alexander Well, in the FigdrO
of February 2Sth, celebrates his
race by citing numerous cases Of the
infiltra,ion of Jewish blood into the
most nristocratc veins of England.
The tendency to cross the Semitic
and British races, indeed, he de-
clares, to be on the increase. Be-
side Jews raised to high dignity by
the Queen-such as the Rothschilds,
Disraelis, Monteiiores, etc., WE'LL
quotes many Jewish baronets and
knights bearing such names as Gold
smid, Solomon, Phillios, Samuel,
Simon, Vogel and Magnus. The
Herschell peerage; the baronetcies
of Samuelson and Lopes; and the
titles of knighthood borne by the
Behrens, the d'Agullars, VOLTS and
others, are more Or less Jewish
dignities. Among noble families
mixed with Jewish blood is given
that of Sir Francis Head, the des-
cendant of Moses Mendes, who
had espoused the daughter and
heiress of former Sir Francis
Head, and whose sons resumed the
maternal name. A granddaughter
of the same Moses Mendes became
the wife of the Rev. George Her.
bert, brother to the second Earl of
Carnarvon. Another branch of the
Mendes stock is traced into the
Tweeddale family - through the
marriage of q daughter of the Baron
d'Aguilar; and another daughter of
Mendes married the second Wis.,
count of Galway. The late Lord
Houghton was direct descendant.
The blood of Moses Mendes spread
much further than even this; but it
would probably tire our readers to
follow out all its qualifications. Suf-
flee to say that it got into the veins
of the Ricardos, and thence into the
neighborhood Of ducal coronets.
The wife of the present heir of
Richmond and Gordon is daughter
of Percy Ricardo.
The family of Abudiente, Or
Gideon, is another Jewish family
with high aristocratic connections
including Viscounts, barons and
even the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, Childers, "a descendant of
that same Sampson Gideon, who,
after having formally renowned the
synagogue, left q will in which he
expressed the desire TO be laid away
with his fathers, in the Jewish Gene
terry.
The Walpole and Lisburne fami.
lies have jewish blood in their veins.
Then the Countess Dcsart is the
daughter of ii. l.. Bischofsheim,
who was jew; the Countess of
Orkney is the widow of Baron
Samuel; the Duchess of st. Adams
the Countess of Roseberry, Lady
Coutts-Lindsay and several Other
ladies of title are more or less OF
Jewish origin. There are two in.
stances of a mixture of Jewish with
royal blood-through alliances made
by members of the houses of Rich
mond and Gage COT Plantagenet de.
scent), and by members of the
houses of Saint-Albans and South.
ampton.
WE'LL bases most of his statements
on Burke's Peerage and upon notes
drawn from the Je,oish World, OF
London. His spelling of names
makes some of his quotations diff
cult to understand; but the general
result, if at all trustworthy, is worth
studying. 1t appears that the edi'
tors of the Peerage took specia
pains to elucidate the extent of afllli.
alton by marriage between Jews anG
titled Gentiles, for the benefit o.
those interested in the Semitic lQues.
ton; and the Jewish papers have
aided and confirmed the research.
10 what an extent the English
press is controlled by Jews, would
be an interesting subject for similar
WELLS researches. Jews have beer
notably successful rs newspaper
men; and Joseph Levy, proprietor
of the London Daily Telegraph,
the most successful English paper il
the World, is an example. Facts
like these form the most digmfied
and telling answer to the Stpckers
and other anti-Semitic preachers ant
pamphleteers. Times-Demo
